1. We sell hope, mostly
Without hope, who has dreams?
2. We are a service organization
We serve kids and parents and the community
3. Our job is primarily behavior modification
We need to teach work skills first; if they work, they will learn
4. No penalty for work done wrong, if it's done well
We need to applaud work, even if it needs to be fixed
5. Students will work at school by design (we won't have homework as it is classically assigned)
When they work at home it will be by choice
6. We teach skills, not subjects
State adopted texts should not be a limiter on student access to content and learning
7. We will raise young professionals
People that will make our community proud
8. We will scaffold our lessons and use repetitions
We'll teach them to walk right; then run, then run quickly
9. We will work inside the student decision circle
We will use schwerepunkt to create intensity and move their cheese, creating an active energy-filled environment
10. You work for them; they'll work for you
The best learning is always a partnership, not a dictatorship
11. ? This point left intentionally open-ended, to allow for growth and innovation
The MHS Success Ladder....98% done.
